Prayer of Poor and Needy

Tune: Ruth

(\'Summer suns are glowing\')

Psalm 70

**********

Make haste God, to help me

Deliver me, see

My troubles I have here

Come to me, draw near

Let them be ashamed sure

That seek my soul poor

And confounded, turned back

While I nothing lack

 

Let them be confused, they

The ones who do say

Ahh, and so do scorn me

Look on me, me see

Let them be turned back, blame

For reward of shame

Give them, but do save me

From their ways me free

 

Let all those that seek you

Rejoice now anew

And be glad in you for

They worship, adore

And let such as love you

Keep you still in view

They love your salvation

Shared with each nation

 

Let them say continual

Your name be it all

Magnified, shown as great

You care for our state

But I poor and needy

Be, come, set me free

Make haste, me deliver

Help me, not defer
